IMPROVEMENT llN LAMP-CHANDELIERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 133,589, dated December3, 1872.

' invention, the chandelier being shown in vertical section.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspoding parts.

A is the base, which may be made of any suitable material, and in anydesired style or shape. The lamp B rests upon this base, as seen in thedrawing. C represents suspending-chains, four, more or less, in number.These chains connect with the stationary ring D, from which other chainsE connect with the main supporting-chain F. The mode of arranging thesechains and suspending the chandelier does not ditl'er necessarily fromthat of other articles of a similar kind. G is a loose sliding ringwhich surrounds the suspendingchains VG,v and which, when slipped downas seen in the drawing, contracts the chains so l as to secure the lamp,as seen in the drawing.

When this ring or band is raised the lamp may be removed vand used thesame as other lamps. H is the shade, made of any suitable material andin any desired style. The shade is suspended by the chains I, connectedwith the I main supporting-chain by means of a hook, to

which the chains I are attached. This hook willen gage with any of thelinks in the main supporting-chains, so that the shade may be adjustedhigher or lower, as may be desired.

'ihe chandelier is so suspended that it maybe raised or lowered, as maybe required, and may be made and used either with orwithout a shade.With the common kerosene lamp in this chandelier all the advantages ofthe exf pensive extension gas-chandelier are secured with thisadditional advantagethe light may bel readily removed and utilized awayfrom the chandelier. The advantages are many, and must be obvious toall.

The-chandelier may be suspended from a cord and made adjustable to anypart of the room, as seen in Fig. 2.

When the lamp is changed or removed the shade is disposed of by hangingit on the small arm, J, as represented in Fig. 3.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new .and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. A chandelier, consisting` of the base A,suspending-chains C, E, and F, sliding ring or band G, and adjustableshade H, as and for the purposes described.

2. The base A, with the above-describedchains, stationary' ring D andsliding ring G, for the purposes described. Y
